Dapper

ABV: 4.2%Style: British Session Ale

A very proper session ale that is a "mash-up" of low-alcohol, hyper drinkable British beer styles. Made with 100% UK-grown Maris Otter barley and East Kent Golding and Fuggle hops. Grassy, herbal and wonderful. Get dapper. Seek the Good.

Risk

ABV: 6.5%Style: IPA

After 4 pilot batches of this recipe we knew it was time to stop talking about opening a brewery and actually start taking a risk. Brewed with only pale ale malt for a very dry and cleanly malty undertone. Simcoe and Centennial hops lend a very balanced profile tending toward pine and citrus. Take a risk on the things that are important to you. Seek the Good.

Motto

ABV: 5.2%Style: Mosaic Pale Ale

We knew what kind of beer we wanted to be about and went to great lengths to source the hop to make it happen. The result is a single malt/single hop brew with Crisp Pale Ale malt and Mosaic hops. Character of juicy tropical fruit and resinous pine undertone. Stand for something. Seek the Good.

Clean Cut

ABV: 4.7%Style: Session IPA

A low gravity Session IPA that showcases Amarillo, Citra and Centennial for a fruity/pine/citrus profile. An extremely refreshing and drinkable beer that makes you want to go outside and mow the lawn. Beards beware. Seek the Good.

Detail

ABV: 5.4%Style: Porter

Our head brewer, Ray, pored over the details as both the architect of this recipe and as an architect in his former life before Good City. A classic Robust Porter with a clean and balanced roasted malt profile, right down the middle between chocolate and coffee-like. Get lost in the details that matter. Seek the Good.

Reward

ABV: 8.5%Style: Double IPA

The bigger and very different brother of our Risk IPA. Reward features a dry malt profile and Citra, Amarillo and Eureka hops. The result is a dank hop aroma with tropical fruit and distinct pineapple character backed up with a floral/tangerine hop flavor. The bigger the Risk the greater the Reward. Seek the Good.

Pils

ABV: 5.2%Style: Pilsner

A fresh take on a style that Milwaukee was built on. Brewed with classic Bohemian lager yeast and US Pils malt for a crisp, clean tone that is light-colored and light-bodied. Assertively hopped with German Tettnang and Saphir hops. Know where you come from and where you are going. Seek the Good.

Counterpoint

ABV: 6.7%Style: Pale Lager

A surprisingly harmonious combination of lager and ale styles. Brewed with US Pilsner and German Munich malt for a touch more sweetness. German Hallertau Blanc, US El Dorado, and New Zealand Wakatu hops create a very distinctive white wine and lemon/lime candy character. Old meets New. Seek the Good.

BFG

ABV: 11.5%Style: Barleywine

Big Friendly Goodness in a glass. This American-style Barleywine is brewed with malted rye for a distinct red color and subtle spicy note. Balanced and deceptively drinkable for such a big beer. Be bold, be friendly. Seek the Good.

Varietal #7: Denali

ABV: 8.5%Style: Double IPA

Next up in our Varietal Series, this Double IPA showcases the Denali hop's rich pineapple, citrus and pine flavors.

Varietal #8: Centennial Triple IPA

ABV: 10%Style: Triple IPA

The next up in our Varietal Series, this Triple IPA showcases the Centennial hop.

Nitro Milk Stout

ABV: 4.8%Style: Milk Stout

Vielendampf (Prost Collaboration)

ABV: 5.4%Style: Dampfbier

An old German style brewed in collaboration by old friends, Good City's Andy Jones and Prost Brewing's Colin Ford. Brewed with barley and wizen yeast, this less known Dampfbier style features banana clove flavors with a surprisingly dry finish. Old Meets New. Seek the Good.

The Taproom

We've built an urban taproom to enjoy fresh beer in the heart of Milwaukee's East Side.

Located on Farwell Avenue in the heart of Milwaukee's vibrant East Side, we have built an urban taproom with the same meticulousness that we use to brew our beer. The result is an open concept brewery where customers feel like they are a part of the brewing process. You can expect a family friendly environment, fresh beer, delicious food, and an atmosphere that fosters good conversation and community.
